The Curaçao national football team hopes for its first points against Ecuador after the heavy defeat to Germany. The team of Dick Advocaat has trained hard this week and will be eager to achieve a better result against the South Americans. Patrick van Aanholt, analyst and reporter for VoetbalPrimeur at this tournament, expects a tough match. The match against Germany is now almost a week ago and the pride still prevails. Everyone was proud that Curaçao is at the World Cup, but now the real work begins. Against Ecuador, Curaçao must remain focused for ninety minutes to achieve a result. The players must keep the faith that they can compete at this level. Patrick van Aanholt has been in contact with a number of players and he knows how mentally tough such a defeat can be. Not only because of the result, but also because you notice how small the margins are at this level. That's why this match against Ecuador will be a real test of the group's character. Ecuador has conceded few goals and was undefeated in nineteen matches before the match against Ivory Coast, so it will be a difficult match. Curaçao can take a chance and both countries have zero points, so they must both try to win.
